Exclusive foldable pocket knife with a wide blade by Berti Knives

Model 16 is the most popular choice in the Vernantino line. Like the rest, it is without a spring. Instead, it features a lock to prevent accidental blade retraction.

The times we live in are associated with increased consumption. That’s why the items we use every day are valued only for their utility. Each year, we often neglect them, replacing them with newer models.

Contrary to this situation, the philosophy of Berti Knives, a brand producing exceptional knives for various uses, stands apart. Founded in 1895 by David Berti, the family workshop appears to be completely independent of the trends that have emerged worldwide over the years. Its core principle is a commitment to tradition, which is still upheld by the fourth generation of these Italian artisans.

The owners strongly oppose the idea of mass production by unskilled labor, which they believe would lead to the loss of identity in their knives. Therefore, their manufacturing philosophy emphasizes employing skilled personnel. This does not mean, however, that this Italian family is closed to innovations. Innovations are welcome as long as they do not conflict with their traditional approach and can withstand years of quality testing.

Unlike others, the various stages of knife production are not handled by specialized sections of workers but are performed from start to finish by the same individual. Thanks to this practice, each blade is entirely unique.
The best quality materials are used in production — blades are made of steel, while handles are crafted from materials such as buffalo horn, bison horn, deer antler, or 'bosso' wood.

The brand’s owners encourage treating their products with proper respect, even though they are designed for everyday use, as this guarantees their durability over many years. Each one is a small, unique artifact.
